The 91Ƭ Foundation awarded $268,000 to 91Ƭ spring semester students, pushing its total awards for the 2024-25 academic year 81% over the previous year, to $577,000.
“We were very excited and proud to award scholarships to 636 students this academic year,” said 91Ƭ Vice President of Institutional Advancement Kristy Liphart, who oversees the 91Ƭ Foundation. “We are able to support so many more students now thanks to three new full-tuition scholarships put into place for the 2024-25 year, for which we are grateful.”
The Kohler Foundation Advantage, Richard F. Brindza Memorial, and Adam Steel Fund are the new scholarships that led to the 91Ƭ Foundation more than doubling the number of full-tuition awards to students.
